I want a little sugar in my bowl
I want a little sweetness, down in my soul
I could stand some loving, oh, so bad
I, I feel so funny and I feel so sad

I want a little steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go
What's the matter, Daddy? Come on, save my soul
I need some sugar in my bowl
I ain't fooling, I want some sugar in my bowl

You been acting different, so I've been told
Soothe me, I want some sugar in my bowl

I want a little steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go
What's the matter, Daddy? Come on, save my soul
I want some sugar in my bowl
I ain't fooling, I want some sugar in my bowl

What's the matter, Daddy? Come on, save my soul
I want some sugar
You know I want, I want a little sugar in my bowl
